A Maximum Coverage Based Algorithm refers to a computational method used to determine the optimal placement of multi-channel distributed fiber optic sensors within a mesh optical fiber cable network. The primary goal of this algorithm is to ensure that the sensors are positioned in such a way that the largest possible area of the network is monitored, maximizing the detection and coverage of potential issues.
